Gallup Survey: 14% of U.S. Adults Own Cryptocurrency, 60% Have No Intention to Buy

BlockBeats News, July 27 — According to a new Gallup survey conducted from June 2 to June 15, about 14% of American adults say they own cryptocurrency, but the majority express no interest in buying. Although digital asset ownership has seen a slight increase since 2021, most Americans still view digital assets as a risky investment.

The survey shows that cryptocurrency ownership is more common among men under 50, with 25% of men in this group reporting that they own Bitcoin or other digital currencies.

In addition, college graduates (19%), high-income adults (19%), and political conservatives (18%) have higher rates of cryptocurrency ownership. In contrast, only 7% of adults aged 65 and older say they own some form of cryptocurrency.

17% of Americans say they are interested in cryptocurrency but do not plan to invest in the near future; only 4% say they are likely to purchase cryptocurrency soon. 60% say they have no plans to invest in cryptocurrency at all.
